There comes a point in life where we are bound to take crucial decisions in order to move forward. Some choices would prove to be exactly what we were hoping for and others will make us wonder what would have happened if we had taken the other available path. Robert Frost presents this enigma on his poem ‘The Road Not Taken’. He most chose between two paths and he is conflicted about not being able to “travel both.” He looks at one road until it disappears from his sight, yet he decides to…

making these connections. Kent concerns himself with the affects of the storm, for “Man’s nature cannot carry Th’affiction nor the fear” (King Lear 3.2.48-9).
